Quotes

Russ Meyer

Edit
  • I love big-breasted women with wasp waists. I love them with big cleavages.
  • The girls kick the hell out of the guys. I've always played well at the Ivy League . . . Cornell, Dartmouth. I have never encountered a berating woman.
  • [commenting on his third marriage] I'm a serial bigamist.
  • I'd rather play cards if I can't have a lady with big boobs.
  • I always had a tremendous interest in big boobs.
  • Nothing is obscene providing it is done in bad taste.
  • There can just be a thin edge separating evil and humor.
  • SuperVixen [from Supervixens (1975)] is like Le facteur sonne toujours deux fois (1946). She wears a white dress, she's good, pure. Shari Eubank. She plays both parts; it's a reincarnation thing. But, you say, did Superangel really die in that bathtub? Was she really electrocuted? And she now is on top of the mountain, with the blood streaming down, but looking beautiful and elegant, guiding the destinies of three people: terrible, nasty, dirty, no-good Harry Sledge, policeman, former Green Beret, redneck, opinionated, a bum lay, sexually sick, very physical, very muscular; and Clint, clean, slim, obviously a stud but not in a pushy, forward kind of way, totally good; and Supervixen, voluptuous, pure, good, totally giving, self-sacrificing. And at the end, she says, "Leapin' Lizards!".
  • [about the drive-in audiences for his films] [They] do not read reviews. They're influenced by a shrieking, shouting radio spot, bombastic TV spot and bigger-than-life ads. They go and they eat the tacos and hamburgers and maybe make out a little bit, and it's just a nice place to go. So those people don't give a shit about Judith Crist or Rex Reed. Who are they, you know?
  • I'd like to be recognized as a good filmmaker.
  • I don't pretend to be some kind of sensitive artist. Give me a movie where a car crashes into a building and the driver gets stabbed by a bosomy blonde, who gets carried away by a dwarf musician. Films should run like express trains!
  • What the public wants are big laughs and big tits and lots of 'em. Lucky for me that's what I like, too.
  • [World War II] It was great. I loved the war. I didn't want the war to end. I wanted it to go on and on and on and on. I shot a lot of pictures, newsreel stuff.
  • All of my films are cartoons! That's more than anything else I can say about my films. Cartoons with fleshed-out characters.
  • [why he made films] Money. How much money can you make, Meyer? Get all the money you can because it's going to say you, "you've done some- thing and got their attention." It's not for art or anything of that nature.
  • [how he selects actresses] I look for breasts. That's the most important thing. I find a girl who has big boobs and is pretty, and that's what I'm involved with. That's what the whole film is about. When dealing with women, they have to be outrageously buxom. No, there are no casting things. I just hear about it, know about it, find out about it. That's it. I really go after them. I want to find them and I will find them.
  • [actress Uschi Digard] Uschi's a girl of Swiss descent, with a slight German accent, and we had a great love affair during the course of the films. Whenever she worked with me, or if she was my aide, she would prepare her body for me every night: it was always ready for whatever... She is one of the most aggressive sex partners anyone could hope to find. Her whole life was devoted to screwing. Marvelous. We need more women like that.
